Setting the run times
your yard. Here’s how
they work.
Zone Control
Lawns. shrubs, flower beds
and other foliage all need
different amounts of water.
of your yard by assigning a
different run time to one or
more sprinkler heads
controlled by a single valve.
Each valve and the
sprinklers it controls are
called a Zone. The L71206P
lets you divide your yard into
as many as six Zones: the
L71209P allows as many as
nine.
Programming options
Certain parts of your yard
may need water every day.
Other parts may need water
only twice a week. Dual
programming lets you divide
your Zones into two
different groups, and assign
each group a different
interval between waterIng
days. For example. Program
A may water Zones 1,2.3.
and 7-day select every third
day, and Program B may
water Zones 2 and 6 daily.
It’s also possible to assign a
Zone to both A and B
Programs at once. For
details, see ”Selecting the
right Program’ on page 10.
Start times
Each Program lets you
specify up to four different
times to start watering the
Zones it controls. For
example. you might have
Program A water all its
Zones twice a day starting
at 6AM and 4 PM, while
Program B waters its Zones
at 8 AM and 2 PM.
Watering run times
To deliver the correct
amount of water to the
foliage within each Zone.
you can set each Zone to
shutoff after a specified
period of time -from 2 to 60
minutes.
